Just two kick-offs this Sunday as Arsenal travel up to Goodison Park to try and capitalise on United’s draw at Villa Park and move into second place while Chelsea look to open up a lead of 5 or 6 points – depending on the Arsenal result – to their closest rivals at the top.

Everton have recalled Seamus Coleman and Johnny Heitinga to their starting line-up in place of Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and the suspended Marouanne Fellaini. Arsenal meanwhile recall Samir Nasri in place of Thomas Rosicky, the teams in full are…

Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Arteta, Heitinga, Pienaar, Cahill, Saha.

Arsenal XI: Fabianski, Sagna, Djourou, Squillaci, Clichy, Nasri, Song, Wilshere, Arshavin, Fabregas, Chamakh

    I'd be very surprised if the BPs were given to anyone outside those six.

    About to go crazy!
    Only taken 1 hit this season, but seriously considering this:
    Arteta, Malouda, Coleman, Elmo OUT
    Nani, Jarvis, Kolarov, Vidic IN (plus loads in the bank)

    Probably going to space it out over 2-3 weeks but still...

      I have the same points as you and same captain choice - Tevez was awesome wasn't he! I would personally dump Arteta for Nani but am still expecting from Malouda (we will see now) and coleman looks solid. Sunderland also have ok fixtures so i am sticking with Elmo for a few more weeks.

    Howard Webb needs to go back to refereeing school, that way he might learn about the revolutionary advantage rule.

    On another note, Jermaine Beckford - atrocious. I know Moyes has polished some rough diamonds, but this lad is a lump of cole. No first touch; no tactical awareness, poor movement.

              No defender is worth shelling out that kind of money in the fantasy game. 7.5 mil was the limit. I would have to have a defender who scores at least 10 goals and gets clean sheets to pay 8.3 million for him.

    I'm looking to get rid of Simpson (probably) and Krul in the next couple of weeks. Their replacements will play pretty much every week for the near future, so the question is, which pair will score the most over the next 5-6 weeks:

    A. Hart + Bramble
    B. Cech + Bramble
    C. VDS + Bramble
    D. Gordon + Terry
    E. Gordon + Rio
    F. Gordon + Vidic (ten pence short, so will have to russle it up somewhere)

    I really like Cech at the moment, but it seems like such a naff time to be buying him. ManU have the better fixtures, but they've conceded a lot of goals this season. So might be leaning towards Hart...
